James Blunt - No Bravery '11 lyrics

rate me

There are children standing here,

Arms outstretched into the sky,

Tears drying on their face

He has been here

Brothers lie in shallow graves

Fathers lost without a trace

A nation blind to their disgrace,

Since he's been here

And I see no bravery,

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

Houses burnt beyond repair

The smell of death is in the air

A woman weeping in despair says,

He has been here

Tracer lighting up the sky

It's another families' turn to die

A child afraid to even cry out says,

He has been here

And I see no bravery,

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness

There are children standing here,

Arms outstretched into the sky,

But no one asks the question why,

He has been here

Old men kneel to accept their fate

Wives and daughters cut and raped

A generation drenched in hate

Says, he has been here

And I see no bravery,

No bravery in your eyes anymore

Only sadness
